The King of Fighters '98 UMFE/Chris

Introduction

Chris is a tricky rushdown character with a lot of movement options. Chris has some of the fastest movement speed in the game alongside access to teleports, a slide, an aerial divekick and some forwards moving attacks that lets him move around the screen really well. On offense he has access to good low confirms, a pretty safe but slow overhead, an invul jumping command grab and a nice crossup. On defense he does have access to a dp but it is pretty slow, but he can also use his jumping command grab defensively. His supers are also good, one being a great punisher and the other one being a invul reversal. Chris does not have many tools to fight at long range but due to his excellent movement that is not a big problem for him.
